It’s definitely one of our favourites.

About the Trout Lake Market

The farmers’ market at John Hendry Park has been a Vancouver favourite for over 20 years.

What makes it so special? First, it’s one of the Lower Mainland’s biggest markets, which means lots of things to see, buy and sample. There are multiple fresh fruit and vegetable vendors, folk selling baked goods, artisans selling local crafts and people selling homemade preserves, among other items.

On a busy day in the summer there can be over 70 vendors and a couple of thousand shoppers.

The Trout Lake Farmers Market is also at a great venue. From late spring to early fall, John Hendry Park is a beautiful place to be. The tiny lake is great for walking around and there is a small sandy beach that’s perfect for children and sunbathers. There is also an off-leash area for dogs and a great playground for kids. In short, the market is in a great location.

The Trout Lake Farmers Market is full of awesome friendly vendors selling fresh produce and handmade products. Farmers come in from the Fraser Valley and other regions with fresh-picked fruits, berries and vegetables, and artisans sell their own products. The market is a great place to chat with vendors and learn about their stories!

Parking at the Farmers Market

Parking at the Trout Lake Farmers Market isn’t great. If you can, do your part to be environmentally responsible and take public transit. Otherwise, for parking, try to find a spot at the Trout Lake Community Centre towards the southwest end of the park and walk down to the market.

There is also street parking along Lakeview Drive and other nearby roads, although be sure not to park in a “residential parking only” area.
